Abstract: 1902. Parker, J. Aug. 20. Inhalers and respirators. - In miners' or other breathing-apparatus, the oxygen is supplied to the inhaling side through a sensitive and compact adjustable reducing - valve and through a regulator by which a minimum supply of, say, ¥ litre per minute may be increased in steps of, say, “ litre. The oxygen passes from the cylinder through the fibrous filter 2 and valve orifice 4 to the passage 5 and annular chamber 31, nozzle 19, and outlet pipe P of the regulator, while the determined pressure is maintained constant by oxygen that passes from the valve chamber C through openings 6, Fig. 3, and tends to depress a metal or rubber diaphragm 7 against the action of an adjustable spring 8 and so draw down the attached sliding piston 26 and close the valve 4 by the plug 11 or metal cone 12. A safety-valve 13 with its regulating-spring 14 is provided within the piston. The regulator comprises concentric cylinders 15, 16 forming the annular chamber 31, which is provided with the ever-open nozzle 19, and a series of nozzles of increasing size normally closed by a plug 18, but into register with any one of which one of two openings 17 may be brought by rotation of the graduated head 21 of the plug.

Granted: 1914-04-14
Abstract: 2539. Healy Box Co., [Healy, W. P.]. March 10, 1913. Stapling. - Staple forming and driving mechanism for a machine for making boxblanks or crate-shooks comprises longitudinal grooves a<153> in a recess in the staple former a<145> in combination with an horizontal stockreceiving groove a<149> in the bottom face of the former. The staple formers, which are arranged obliquely to the binding-wire, have also a slot a<150> wherewith to engage the binding-wire. The reels of binding-wire and staple wire are carried above the machine by a frame fixed to it, and, to prevent the wire from jumping over the ends of the reels, they may have gravity brake shoes. The binding-wire is led tu the work over guide-rollers, one of which is shown at a<76>, and is stapled to the box sections by mechanism operated by upper and lower heads a<81>, a<79>, detachably and adjustably mounted on crossbars, the upper one being actuated from the main shaft and reciprocating in vertical guides in the machine frame. The staple wire is fed through an eye a<97> between intergeared feedrolls a<103>, a<105>, one of which is splined to an intermittently-operated shaft a<107>, a.nd the other loosely mounted on an eccentric shaft fast to an arm a<115>, through which a coiled spring acts so as to press the two feed-rolls together. The shaft a<197> is driven by a ratchet a<119> and a spring-pressed pawl a<121> carried by a loose arm a<123>, which is rocked by a rod a<125> actuated by a cam on the main shaft. To avoid stapling at any desired moment, for example at a joint between adjacent box sides, a cam a<221> is provided which, when placed in a suitable position, lifts the pawl a<121> out of gear with the ratchet a<119> and stops the staple-wire feed. This cam may be automatically operated, for example by lever connexions actuated from the conveyer chains. From the feed-rolls, the staple wire passes through a tube a<137> and a cutting-tube a<139> having a chamfered end and over a loop bar a<141>. The staple is formed on the descent of a former a<145> guided in the head a<79> and actuated initially by a dog a<155>. A chamfered corner on the former first cuts the wire, which lies over the loop bar and along the grooves a<149> in the bottom face of the former. The wire is then bent and forced into the longitudinal grooves a<153> on the former. A trip slide a<173> on the driver bar a<177> then engages a cam a<175> and rocks the loop bar a<141> out of the path of the staple. A pin a<161> on the dog a<155> also meets a cam a<163> and thus interrupts the positive drive of the former, which is then actuated through a spring a<169> till it meets the work and holds the binding-wire within the groove a<450> while the driver a<179> continues its movement and inserts the staple.
